'In syphilis, comprehension and attention wanting, he can't understand the meaning of the lines he reads; he must read it over and over. This is different from sycosis where the person can process but forgets the previous line.'

I have no idea which of these, or if either of them is correct for her. If she is frustrated, she blows up and won't do something.

'syphilis has 'Fixed ideas with strong will ', where as sycosis has 'fixed ideas with weak will'.
I do not think she is weak willed at all.'

Yes. She is extremely strong willed, though more explosive, fussy, and determined. She is not particularly obsessional.


'Moreover a state where she has no sympathy or affection for anyone or anything is very much syphilitic.'

Yes, she also has this. Though she is more fussy and rude than cruel.

'If she is frustrated, she blows up and won't do something. '

'explosive, fussy, and determined. '

This just confirms syphilis even more.

Sameer,

Do you know what remedy I should use for her? This is the one case I do not have a good idea of a remedy for.

I just reread your comments and saw this 'Do you know that Lyme disease itself is a form of deer syphilis. Treating it allopathically is a sure way to give rise to the taint.'

I had no idea. Really? Could this be true? I do think that the syphilitic traits in this patient were not present before the Lyme disease.

I am not sure if I can get any more information on this case. If I have a remedy in mind, I can ask some questions to the patient, but probably not many. She is very fussy, and nobody can talk her into anything.
 
BeginningHomeopath last decade
If I had several remedies to look at I might think of more symptoms to mention, or could say that one matches and that another doesn't.

Some remedies to start thinking about might help identify the correct one.

'Do you know that Lyme disease itself is a form of deer syphilis. Treating it allopathically is a sure way to give rise to the taint.'

This puts this entire case in perspective! Syphilis is the most outer layer for sure, as it was not present when she was younger as psora was. When she was younger she had many of the tantrums of psora.

I think her 'anxiety when alone' is only present late at night, and may have something to do with suicidal tendencies that she won't talk about. Whenever she calls late at night and I ask her what she is panicked about she will say that she doesn't know. When in fact, I think this is the panic most associated with Ars. But I don't see a great fit with Ars.

Also, I don't think I have ever seen her flirt or hug with a boyfriend, or be romantic in any way. She is always totally focused on her theater, and performances often take place late at night.

If I had several remedies to read up on it might give me some ideas.
 
BeginningHomeopath last decade
Is there somewhere I can read more about this?

'Do you know that Lyme disease itself is a form of deer syphilis. Treating it allopathically is a sure way to give rise to the taint.'
 
BeginningHomeopath last decade
I cannot remember where I read about this, but I have seen 2 patients who exhibited syphilitic symptoms after suffering from Lyme disease.

The following book talks about it for sure

Any suggestions for a remedy on this one. For a while I was looking at Cina, but this patient has never had worms.
 
BeginningHomeopath last decade
Cina is absolutely of no use in this case as this medicine has no anti-syphilitic properties at all. This is a very well developed case of syphilis.

It has to be one out of Ars. , Hep. or Nit-ac.

My first choice would be Arsenic but that is based on your description alone. Since you have the advantage of meeting the patient, and observing the patient is 50% of the case taking, you can make the best choice among the three.
 
sameervermani last decade
Am looking at Ars. Hep, and Nit-ac in different MMs.

I feel that the lack is that I don't have any stand out physical symptoms from the patient.

She often expresses that she feels her situation is bad in that she can't get any regular jobs with theaters, and that the shows she gets aren't good or that the pay isn't good, or that the people aren't good. In reality she is lucky to have paying work doing what she does as most people only volunteer.

She is not hopeful about getting a great job, which she could very well get, and she has strong pessimistic tendencies to complain.

She is always fussy about some aspect of her situation. She often feels that there is another person in her work who is doing bad to her for their own gain. She describes this at every different group of people that she works with.

Kent's following distinction about Hep fits her well.

'This remedy belongs to patients that are called delicate, that are oversensitive to impressions. The mind takes part in this oversensitiveness and manifests itself by a state of extreme irritability.
Every little thing that disturbs the patient makes him intensely angry, abusive and impulsive.

The patient is quarrelsome, hard to get along with; nothing pleases; everybody disturbs oversensitiveness to persons, to people and to places.'

The following may also have to do with her changing jobs often, though that is common in her field.

'He desires a constant change of persons and things and surroundings and each new surrounding or person or thing again displeases and makes him irritated. '

However, Ars., has the nighttime panics that she has at night, that she won't say why she is bothered by, alleviated by company, which I take to be her primary complaint over many years.
 
BeginningHomeopath last decade
Even Hep. and Nit-ac have night time anxiety, as well as anxiety when alone.

I am not saying which is the correct remedy but, just telling you that all 3 remedies cover her chief complaint.
 
sameervermani last decade
My intuition, having seen this in her late at night over many years is that I think her panics are caused by suicidal tendencies.

She hasn't said this, but during these panics she won't tell anyone why she has them, which is obviously a lie.

This is what keeps Arsenicum in the picture still. Even if Ars is eliminated, I'm not sure I have any physical reasons to choose Hep for her.
 
BeginningHomeopath last decade
No physical reasons are needed, the mental indications if matching alone are enough especially in cases where there is a very clear mental pathology
 
sameervermani last decade
As an example, read the following 2 cases in detail, remedies given on mentals alone

You might want to take a closer look at dosage and gaps given as well
 
sameervermani last decade
Sameer,

I am about to order remedies for these four patients. What doses should I get?

I want to start the 25 year old girl with anxiety on a low dose, would it make sense to order a 6c, 12c, 30c, and 100c? She seems hypersensitive to foods and water. I will probably start her with Hep.

For the woman in her 60's taking Sepia 200c drops, what should I order?

The man in his 60's taking Mez 200c?

The mid-30's male taking 200c Calc-C?

Should I get LMs of any of these?
 
BeginningHomeopath last decade
I have looked at these cases, and the 5 or so others you mention to umeshrajesh72.

I do not know the method of giving several doses on the same day. I'm not sure if David uses that method. I don't remember seeing it in his articles.
 
BeginningHomeopath last decade
Well, with due respect to David Little, a lot of the things about posology have to be refined by your own experience. I have understood and refined my method through my own experimenting. Even most of the great homeopaths in India (a country which according to David himself has the most extensive wealth of experience about dosing and posology) chose this method of 3 quick 30 doses.

I have determined, the method of 3 quick 30c doses works best for me, and it has for many of the old masters as well, and this is documented in many of their case records.

Especially when prescribing online, this solves 3 purposes:

a) Most patients are not aware of dosing guidelines, about strong odours not being there , not eating any strong flavours.. etc, and the probability they will anti-dote all three doses accidentally is very low.

b) As I rarely ever repeat the same centesimal potency again, it gets more out of a 30c dose, as 3 quick doses are taken as stronger 30c dose.

c)Many of the online patients are new to homeopathy and are not even aware of their body so much as to notice the 30c changes, hence I tend to go towards stronger side of the 30 dose unless I am prescribing for young children where I start with single dose.

e.g. See this case where the child is very young and I started with just 1 dose.

http://www.abchomeopathy.com/forum2.php/152845/

Regarding the potency and dosing of your patients, I think I have already given you guidelines which I use in many of threads on which we have been exchanging comments, now I think you should determine the best course forward for them.

Good luck,
Sameer

Here is some information about this patient that I just got... I'm more sure of Hep. Sulph.

That she keeps her room warm is a partial confirmation.

She is especially fussy, and is difficult to get to take things. She will visit later this week, and I will have only one opportunity for her to take the remedy.








>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
This weekend, and I think it happens periodically, but not frequently, she had an upset stomach at
meals - kind of an acid churning in the stomach as if she ate something that did not agree with her.
We ate at a Thai restaurant on Sat night and she thinks the spring roll may have not been vegetarian.

Other thoughts, her bedroom this weekend tended to be relatively warm, which must be what she
likes.

Otherwise she tends not to dress very warm. Where someone might be cold for a day she will bewearing something more skimpy.
 
BeginningHomeopath last decade
Also, this patient became vegetarian around age 13, very young because she didn't want to hurt animals. This was around the time, before or after she was bitten by the deer tick with lyme disease.
 
BeginningHomeopath last decade
Keeping the room warm is not a symptom on the basis of which you can differentiate Nit-ac, Hep and Ars.

All three of them can be extremely chilly remedies.

Some thoughts about differentiation:

Try to get inside her brain, to decide which one covers her mental essence.

Actually, Nit-ac is pretty unlikely if she says no to all of the below:

1) How do you feel for the 30 mins after you wake up in the morning ? Are you very irritable ?

2) Are you a chilly person ?

3)Have you ever had any of these:

Mouth ulcers
Haemorrhoids
Cracked skin at orifices like corners of the mouth
Swollen Gums
Any other complaints related to mouth (corners), nose and anus ?

Hep. is a person whose nerves are on the surface, who is always on the edge, irritable and sensitive to the highest degree, the slightest cause, pressure, or pain just causes him to get very angry, and he often blames other people for his problems. Also, he/she is very impetuous, much more so than Nit-ac or Ars.

Ars is the most fastidious of all the three remedies.

Nit-ac can be very (not a must) sympathetic, where as the other two remedies are rarely very sympathetic. Nit-ac is the only remedy among these three to have a strong craving for fats , salt or fried foods. Hep also has some craving for fat foods at times but it is not as strong as Nit-ac.

Nit-ac does not have an aversion to company in the strict sense where as the other two remedies can have strong aversion to company. Nit-ac is like this with people 'either you are on my side or you are my enemy' and can be extremely revengeful and malicious with people who he perceives as not on his side.

Ars is easily the most critical and censorious of all the three remedies as he always thinks 'I am right and you are not'.

All three remedies can be cruel and unfeeling.
 
sameervermani last decade
I can absolutely rule out Nit-ac for her. I don't think I have ever seen her sympathetic to anything. She became a vegetarian as to not hurt animals, but I have never seen her with an animal, or seen her to have particularly sympathetic traits to anyone.

That said, I have never seen her express a desire for revenge or to hurt anyone. I don't see any good correlations between her and the MM descriptions of Nit-ac.

I do see some connections between her and Arsenicum, but not as good as Hep.

Hep covers her mental essence exactly.

That said, she will probably take the remedy this week and won't be back to visit for over a month, so I have to give her a dose that will last that long.
 
BeginningHomeopath last decade
Adding on to my previous post:

Arsenic is one of key remedies for Lyme disease, and symptoms originating from it.

Nit-ac is rarely meddlesome where as Arsenic can be extremely meddlesome. Nit-ac does not have the passion of Ars or Hep and is more often in a cynical and indifferent state.

All three remedies can be very quarrelsome, irritable, angry at trifles and rude.

Refusal to take medicine is more of an Ars symptom than anything.
 
sameervermani last decade
Just to clarify:

Nit-ac can be unsympathetic as well. Although, the symptoms I listed above for Nit-ac in the questions always serve as a nice test for the remedy. If she does not have any of them, I would consider Nit-ac to be very unlikely.
 
sameervermani last decade
I wouldn't describe her as meddlesome. She doesn't seem to care at all about the activities of other people, and she never has opinions about what other people should do, except as it effects her. She can be indifferent to other people and what they do.

She is passionate about theater, her job and main activity for many years. Everything she does that she loves is about theater.

She has a fake optimism, where she tries to be optimistic even though she doesn't feel that way.

She isn't willing to take many vitamins or herbs when they are suggested for her, and she will be very difficult to get to take a remedy.
 
BeginningHomeopath last decade
I will check on your questions, but I don't think the patient has ever had any of these.
 
BeginningHomeopath last decade
As I said, the decision must be yours as you can meet the patient. I hope the discussion was helpful and I would be interested in knowing how she responds to Hep :)
